Defected is on a roll to start 2012.  Following an acclaimed brace of releases in ‘Look Right Through’ and 2011’s follow-up ‘It Goes On’, Morgan Geist’s reincarnation as Storm Queen can surely be seen as nothing short of triumphant. Now, we’ve lined up an intimidating selection of artists to present their own interpretations of the debut Storm Queen release.

Dropping 1st February, Part 1 included remixes from Jamie Jones, Dimitri from Paris and Aeroplane. Jamie Jones had a phenomenal 2011, and has started the New Year in similarly explosive fashion, with his bass-heavy remix already receiving a World Exclusive spin on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection. An uplifting, piano-led reimagining from Dimitri from Paris and a driving, neo-house mix from Aeroplane complete the package. Read more »

MK – House Masters Review

If you were around dance clubs in the mid 90′s, then you know MK.  He was behind some of the biggest tracks and remixes of that decade, including Burning and the awesome remix of India’s “I Can’t Get No Sleep.”  Most of these tracks were released on vinyl, but unless you bought the vinyl back then, there is a good chance most copies are not in the best shape these days.  Luckily Defected brought MK on to re-release some of his best work in a double compilation entitled “House Masters.”

This review is a bit different than the other reviews we do for the simple fact that this release doesn’t have much new content.  All of the material is from years past, but the beauty of it is that you can now have a great sounding copy of some of the biggest bombs of the past 20 years.  If you take a look at this track listing, it’s amazing how many great remixes and original tracks Marc released.  If you were dancing back then, or are a new DJ looking to get into the old house sounds that have re-emerged from DJ’s like Seth Troxler, then this is a must have.  Make sure you pick it up.

(No rating on this one as it is primarily a compilation of older tracks).  You can pick it up by clicking here.
